Article Synopsis
- Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is identified as a warning sign for dementia in older adults, affecting their quality of life (QoL) through various neuropsychiatric symptoms.
- The study involved over 1,100 individuals aged 50 and older, analyzing how severity of MBI symptoms correlates with QoL using specific measurement tools.
- Results showed that higher MBI symptom scores significantly correlated with poorer QoL, regardless of sex, highlighting the need to address MBI in healthcare for older adults.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is prevalent in veterans and may occur at any stages of their life (before, during, or after military service). This is of particular concern, as previous evidence in the general population has identified TBI as a strong risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a known precursor of dementia. This study aimed to investigate whether exposure to at least one TBI across the lifetime was a risk factor for MCI in ageing UK veterans compared to non-veterans.
